All kinds of help are always highly appreciated! I believe the old saying "A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking" applies here as well. When three Vets don't know and the danish FDA don't think it is a problem big enough to care about, I'll have to accept "unsolved"...

I'm impressed you found Fødevarestyrelsen! I cantacted them the first and I think it would be a hard job to find someone who could care much less than they did, so no help there. I've never heard about the second link. It says "Site last updated: December 21, 2001", so they're probably not...

Thanks for the reply. We probably do, but I threw them away, since I did not want to risk eating sick birds. Someone suggested it could be due to the high stress level ISA's apparently have because they're genetically enhanced to lay as many eggs as possible. But.. I slaughtered two birds in the...

BTW they both seemed completely healthy until now. They came running when we fed them and also ate normally. They both laid eggs, but were approx. 3 years old

Hey guys and girls! I just slaughtered 2 chickens today (ISA Brown). When I took out the guts I noticed somerhing strange on both their livers. One looks like its filled with corn and the other has a really strange colour Any ideas what it could be?
